There's something similar in the PIC instruction set...

Ciao Zeity

[BrilloPad]

Arrrgh been on a conf call for the last 25 mins! Make them stop!

I am sure Zeity will be happy to eat them

HTH

I was a Z80 girl myself - actually I was the only girl on the course!

DJNZ was such a lovely little instruction

I remember when I was a games programmer, the Speccy guru at the desk next to me, converting a game from the ST, determined that he needed a square root routine (intersection of an arrow with a target in the archery segment).

So he thought for a moment, and implemented the Newton-Raphson iterative algorithm, in Z80, off the top of his head

It wasn't fast enough (took about ten frames or something), so I spent an hour or two digging through old copies of Personal Computer World that evening, and found what I vaguely remembered reading some years before - a super-fast Z80 integer square root function.

Took it into work for him the next day - worked a treat

I've since read a detailed explanation of how and why it works (in the book Hacker's Delight) and I still don't understand it

You went there just to pull didn't you?

Wow cool site... I'm going waste some time there later

Lol !

No I've always been a bit geeky... I was rather popular though - something to do with the length of my skirts I suspect

A girl who isn't put off by geeky discussions is every geek's dream. They may even change their underpants for that sort of babe.

Ewww....

I'm not sure I would've described myself as a "babe" even then...

Being the only girl on the course did have advantages though
